Palace fight?My dear, she just wants to show off

"Good good."

Jin Yuanbao just said that he was no longer angry when he saw his niece acting coquettishly with him.

Then several people talked for a while, and before they knew it, the day passed like this. People outside the palace were not allowed to stay in the palace, so the few people separated reluctantly.

Next, Su Qingqing started pretending to have a miscarriage. In order to pass the boring days, Su Qingqing planned to write a letter to her uncle.

That day, her uncle came to see her and talked about their cake shop, which was very prosperous. At that time, her uncle said sourly that Su Qingqing was doing business quietly without caring about him, and pretended to be sad, making Su Qingqing look like she had committed a crime. What a big mistake.

Later, in order to coax her uncle, Su Qingqing vowed that she would help him think of a better business, and his uncle was satisfied.

Since she had nothing to do today, Su Qingqing thought of hot pot.

Hot pot has been very popular in the palace recently. Su Qingqing thought that since it is so popular in the palace, it must be equally popular when opening a shop outside.

So Su Qingqing wrote a letter telling her uncle about this idea.

A few days later, Su Qingqing got a reply from her uncle, but it was not good news, but news that surprised Su Qingqing, that is, someone had already opened a hot pot restaurant first.

"what?"

Su Qingqing's face was full of reluctance. She obviously thought of it herself, but someone else got in first.

Su Qingqing was very unwilling to have her promising business robbed. That was so much money!
But Su Qingqing soon felt relieved. Since she taught others hot pot, others also have the right to open a shop.

"Think of another one!"

Su Qingqing planned to think about other businesses, but she had no idea at the moment.

The little stutterer who delivered the message on the side saw that Su Qingqing was unhappy. Today, the master told them that he planned to open a hotpot restaurant. At that time, everyone thought it was feasible and did not expect that others had already opened it.

"Master, since someone has already opened a hot pot restaurant, why don't we let my uncle grow vegetables? Didn't you mention it before? You can also grow vegetables in winter."

Thinking about growing fresh vegetables in winter, they would be easy to sell.

After hearing what Xiao Stutter said, Su Qingqing couldn't help but sigh. Growing a greenhouse was not as easy as she said.

This is ancient times, and the conditions are definitely not as mature as modern times. A greenhouse needs to be built and manned to take care of it. The disadvantage is that it is a loss-making business, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Besides, growing vegetables can’t be done overnight, it takes a while, and the money doesn’t come quickly, so Su Qingqing doesn’t plan to grow vegetables for the time being.

Looking at the business plan that had been written in her hand, Su Qingqing sighed.

I'm so unhappy!
Hearing that Su Qingqing vetoed his proposal, Xiao stammered and thought again.

"Master, since you are unwilling to give up, why don't we also open a hotpot restaurant? Just like there is not just one restaurant outside, as long as we have our own characteristics, it will be just as good."

Su Qingqing's eyes lit up when she heard Xiao Stutter's words. Why didn't she think of it just now?

Since someone else has already opened a hot pot restaurant, she can change to another plan, such as Chuan Chuan Xiang or Malatang.

I heard from her uncle that the hot pot outside was not cheap and was mostly high-end, so she decided to take the civilian route. After all, there were still many ordinary people who couldn't afford hot pot. There was definitely no problem eating Chuan Chuan Xiang or Malatang.

After thinking about it for a long time, Su Qingqing chose Chuan Chuan Xiang. After all, there were less ingredients in ancient times, so it was more suitable for Chuan Chuan Xiang.

Besides, Chuanchuan Xiang is more convenient than Malatang. Those who don’t have money can eat a few skewers to try. Those who have money can just eat hot pot. You can take it away or sit down and eat it. Especially regardless of the season, it is very good. Selling, in short, is also very advantageous.

The more Su Qingqing thought about it, the more she felt it was feasible, so she wrote to her uncle again, this time including the plan.

That same day, my uncle wrote back and said that Chuan Chuan Incense was very good and that he planned to start this business. He also said that if it succeeded, she would be a big contributor and he would give her [-]% of the profits.

Su Qingqing just expressed her idea and did not contribute, so she quickly refused, but her uncle was unhappy and said that if she didn't want it, he wouldn't open it.

There was nothing she could do to threaten her with this, and in the end she could only passively accept it.Later, she thought that her uncle was not short of money anyway, so she accepted it.

Just like that, the Chuanchuan Xiang shop was opened, not to mention that the business was very booming.

Half a month later, Su Qingqing got more dividends than the cake shop, but Su Qingqing was shocked.

Next, Su Qingqing happily counted the money.

While some people are happy, others are worried.

Xiao Muhan was checking the accounts that day. When he saw that the hot pot restaurant had lost a lot of sales, he couldn't help but frowned.

"Last month it wasn't [-] taels. How could it be [-] taels this month? How could it be so much less?"

A full 1 taels were missing. Although he still made a lot of money, since the hot pot restaurant opened, the business was getting better and better day by day. How could it fall? Xiao Muhan looked confused.

The steward below couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Although Xiao Shizi usually looked gentle and elegant, he was meticulous in his work and did not allow any mistakes.

With an anxious mood, the manager said with a grimace:

"Master Shizi, don't you know that a Chuan Chuan Xiang restaurant recently opened in Beijing? It has the same characteristics as our hot pot. It is very popular with everyone, and many customers have gone there."

When talking about this matter, the manager also looked helpless. He secretly went to Chuanchuan for inspection before, and Chuanchuan's business method was very novel.

And their service style was so considerate that he was a little moved after seeing it.

Xiao Muhan frowned after hearing Chuan Chuan Xiang.

"Do you know where it came from?"

If you dare to steal his business, you must have a lot of background.

"I heard he is a second-rate merchant in the capital, and his surname is Jin."

Xiao Muhan originally thought it was some aristocratic family or some big merchant, but he didn't expect it was just a second-rate merchant. Second-rate merchants were not ranked high in the capital.

"Let people find people named Jin. If they know the current affairs, let's talk about it. If they don't, just find an excuse to shut them down."

Hearing what the prince said, the steward looked embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, I heard people say that this merchant has a niece in the palace. Isn't it a bit bad to do this directly?"

After hearing the steward's words, Xiao Muhan glanced at the steward helplessly.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?"

If it was related to the people in the harem, he would still check it out.

I just didn’t know which empress in the harem it was, so I waved my hand.

The next day Xiao Muhan planned to go and see it in person.

So there were two figures, one big and one small, at the door of Qingqing Chuan Chuan Xiang. They were Xiao Muhan and Xiao Nian.

Originally Xiao Muhan planned to come by himself, but Xiao Nian pestered him after hearing that he was leaving the house.

Xiao Muhan thought that it would be okay to take Xiao Nian with him if he went out to eat, so they came over together.
